*SPOILER ALERT!* This piece contains spoilers for the CW’s “Jane the Virgin.”
You’re lying to yourself if you deny falling for CW’s popular drama, “Jane the Virgin.” A romance wrapped in a mystery tied in a comedy with a bow- like how could you not? Since the show follows the shape of a telenovela, it leaves the last few minutes of every episode with a cliffhanger, making us fans die with anticipation till the next week.
What is even worse, it leaves an even biggest cliffhanger every season finale! Not to mention the twists and turns the show takes, like Jane’s husband Michael is back from the dead! The producers really love to play with our feelings revealing this right before Rafael plans to propose to Jane. Let’s not forget: Who is the black mailer trying to kill Petra? After hours of research and rewatching, I have the predictions to all of your questions!
At the end of the season four finale, thirty seconds before the credits, it’s revealed that Michael is in fact alive! It leaves us with the big question: Is it really Michael? I would love to say yes, but anything involving Sin Rostro is like an onion, you never know what you will uncover after peeling the next layer.
Full disclosure, I’ve been on team Michael since the start, so of course I need Jane to end up with him. Like I said before, the producers really like to mess with our heads, so there is a very probable chance that it isn’t him. For one, Sin Rostro is known for using super realistic masks to go undercover *cough* Detective Susanna *cough*.
One thing I noticed right off the bat was Michael’s facial hair. Above his upper lip was a very thin mustache, meaning maybe he was trapped somewhere where he couldn’t shave. It’s highly likely because throughout all four seasons, Michael never had a mustache. Another important fact to keep in mind was the episode Michael “died”.
Each episode focuses around one particular theme to go along with what’s going on. The theme of the finale focused around how sometimes narrators can be unreliable. We cannot be sure if the episode was told by a reliable narrator. The narrator did say Michael would love Jane till his very last breath, but was it his last breath or the works of Sin Rostro?
Not to mention a fan tweeted that they could not move on from Michael and Gina Rodriguez, the actress who plays Jane, tweeted back “You don’t have to.” I literally threw my phone when I read that tweet.
Not only were we left with the Michael cliffhanger, we were left wondering who the heck is trying to kill Petra? There’s a long list of people it could be, the girl knows how to rub a person the wrong way. Could it be her arms dealing ex lover Milosh? Her her one eyed, hook for a hand mother? The second I saw the gun pointed at Petra I immediately thought: Chuck Chusser.
We all remember the sexy, but short lived relationship between Chuck and Petra. But one thing we don’t remember is an end to his character. By end I mean the show never just makes a character disappear out of nowhere. They give them some kind of send off, an end or reason they are not going to appear on the show further.
With Rafael’s half brother, it was stealing Mutter’s fortune and catching a plane to hide from the cops. With Mutter, she dies in her prison cell. Rogelio’s stalker lover was taken to jail after attempting a suicide murder. The show always gives the viewers a reason why the character won’t air again.
After the break up with Petra, we never heard of Chuck again. There is even motive for him to want to blackmail and kill Petra, I mean she dumped him for another guy! Plus, we all knew that Chuck had guns after he tried to catch JP with Petra. He knows the Marbella well from all his sexy rendezvous with Petra *wink* and the time he saw the blueprints for the remodel during a greasy-fingered make out sesh . He could have easily gotten in from one of the many windows in her room from all the times he had been there.
These are all my predictions, so I guess we will have to wait and see if they come true!
